Kool aid does not come out paler...its a strong dye on natural fibers. craft fur is a polyester and will not take regular dyes, so i had to experiment to get these to work its a chemical dye. rit does some but is very washed out looking when done.

You can also use onion skins to dye materials. That process is very "old skool" and limited to darker natural colors (no oranges, chartrueses, or blues) but the dyed skins/furs really become colorfast. I believe Ray Bergman had some type of recipe listed in his book "Trout".
